State and Local

Nine Ponds Stormwater Management/Flood Control

The Nine Ponds Stormwater Management conceptual design effort was undertaken under the directive of the Town of University Park. The design was part of a study of the WIP compliance of a larger drainage area proposed by the three town coalition of University Park, Riverdale Park, and Hyattsville. The conceptual design ultimately was able to retain a volume of 47 acre-feet in a pond of 5 acres with a drainage area of 260 acres. LSA’s pond design protects downstream public and private properties from flooding and erosion.

St. Mary's Detention Center

St. Mary’s County Government is moving forward with construction! Bids were received in October to construct the 326 bed expansion to the existing Adult Detention Center facility. LSA prepared the site development plan, demolition plan, stormwater management design plans, grading plan, sediment and erosion control plan, on-site water and sewer plans, storm drain design/open channel design, off-site sewer capacity study, and landscape plan. The 108,420 SF expansion will provide much needed safety improvements and infrastructure upgrades to the existing facility and is expected to be fully constructed in 2014.

Hospitality

Capella Georgetown Hotel

The new hotel will emerge from the makeover of an existing five-story, free-standing commercial building on 31st Street NW, next to the C&O Canal. The hotel will feature a canal-side restaurant and lounge, an executive boardroom for guest use, and a rooftop pool, bar, and full-service spa. LSA prepared traffic control and public space permit plans in order to obtain approval from DDOT. Also, LSA obtained approvals from DC Water and DDOE for stormwater management and sediment control, provided supporting documents, and coordinated with PEPCO for new electric service.
